Welcome to a very special edition of Couchonomics podcast! This episode features not one, not two, but 3 guests + a surprise guest appearance from someone very special (who actually asked the most relevant question of the show).
We had Verity's 3 founders - Dina, Kamal and Omar on the couch for the episode. Verity is a Middle East’s family banking app for kids and teens that is soon launching in the region.
One by one, 3 co-founders of Verity are going to sit on our famous couch and chat about their new business venture. We're addressing the topic of financial literacy in teenagers and children and their wish to disrupt this space with their brilliant new app.
First you'll hear from Kamal Al-Samarrai, a serial entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in banking and recruitment in the UK and UAE. He’ll tell us all about the initial idea behind Verity and his urge to do something that would be beneficial for his own family.
An international banking veteran and serial financial literacy entrepreneur, Dina Shoman, spoke about her experience in New York with a similar venture and her passion for teaching kids about the value in money.
For the great finale, Omar Al-Sharif, a startup maestro with a penchant for digital transformation, product development, and brand marketing, will explain the plans for the launch and the future of Verity.
